Praise House

Directed by Julie Dash

With Laurie Carlos, Viola Sheely, Terri Cousar, Grisha Coleman and Christina Jones

“Draw or Die” is the divine imperative received by the painter, Hannah, who is being nurtured by her Grandmother, but controlled by her pragmatic mother. When her Granny spirit shouts this command to Hannah, she closes a celebration of personal visions in a dance piece that is close to visionary in itself.
